DRAGONS Imaging Verification

The first public release of Gemini’s new Python-based data reduction platform, DRAGONS (Data R eduction for Astronomy from Gemini Observatory North and South), occurred late in 2019 and supports imaging for current facility instruments. Comparisons with Gemini IRAF (for GMOS, FLAMINGOS-2, NIRI, and GSAOI) demonstrate similar photometric accuracy and how to manage differing default parameters.
