George,
Actually you can configured Cartes Du Ciel to use ASCOM instead of a native encoder. It would be worthy to try this to validate ASCOM operations. Also if you are using POTH (recommended), you can debug the commands that are going across the serial interface. This gives to visibility of what the software is issuing to the telescope and in turn the telescopes response. POTH stands for Plain Old Telescope Hub. Link the ASCOM driver to POTH, then link your programs such as Cartes Du Ciel and SN to POTH. As the name implies, it acts as a communication hub between devices/software.
