Data Reduction for Astronomy from Gemini Observatory North and South (DRAGONS) is a platform for the reduction and processing of astronomical data. The Python-based, open-source package includes infrastructure for automation and algorithms for the processing of imaging and spectroscopic data, up to the analysis-ready stage. DRAGONS currently focuses on the reduction of Gemini data, although it allows for support of data from other instruments and telescopes through third-party extensions. Its latest release (v3.1) enables automated reduction of all currently active Gemini imaging facility instruments, as well as optical longslit spectroscopic data, acquired with GMOS.
