That didn't answer the question I asked, but from what you did say it sounds like your serial ports are in a mess. You'll need to sort that out before ASCOM...

This would indicate that while you have the scope in Alt-Az mode, the software and/or mount is functioning in Equatorial mode. I say this because of your...

If POTH is truly issuing an :MS command to do a simple left move when AltAz, then all bets are off as to where it will go. Re ETXs, the 497 handboxes operate...

It's unlikely that any ASCOM app will support moving in AltAz. The ASCOM interface does theoretically support this, via the MoveAxis methods, which are...
