If the mount supports commanded flip via writing to SideOfPier, use it. This will theoretically avoid a quirk in the Gemini where it will not slew/flip if it's already pointing at the target (i.e. it imaged past the flip point and does not have to wait).

See this Comm Center thread (Rob Hawley) and the attached patched 'rjh' AcquireImages.js and the original at the time he patched it (6.0.5), also attached.
