LINC-NIRVANA is a Fizeau Interferometer using the two 8.4 m mirrors of LBT in the combined focus. The images can be obtained in K, H and J Band over a 10" × 10" Field of View by means of Multi-Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO) and a Fringe and Flexure Tracker System (FFTS). In interferometry, the planning of observations is much more tightly connected to the reduction of data than in traditional astronomy. Such observations need to be carefully prepared, taking into account the constraints imposed by scientific objectives as well as features of the instrument. The Observation Preparation Software (OPS), currently under development at MPIA, is a tool to support an astronomer (observer) in the complex process of preparing the observations for LINC-NIRVANA. The main goal of this tool is to provide the observer with an idea what he or she can do and what to expect under given conditions.
