Getting obscon and obscam

Obscon is the MROST Observatory Control GUI. Obscam is the basic Camera Control GUI. They are written in Java to be highly portable. They are thin clients and must connect to the INDI server running at MROST to function. When inside the MROST firewall, do this from a command prompt by typing such as:

    % obscon -h indi

When running outside the firewall, run them with no arguments and they will prompt for all necessary information. At the time of this writing, hawk.nmt.edu must be used as a gateway to the MRO ridge network, and port 15432 has been set up as the ssh port.

Right-click to download the obscon.jar or obscam.jar jar file. On your OS just click or double-click the jar file and it should run, or from a command prompt type such as:

    % java -jar obscon.jar
