The progress achieved in implementing Point Spread Function reconstruction (PSF-R) capability at W. M. Keck Observatory (WMKO) is discussed. Observations of low-mass binary systems have been used to evaluate the improvements in astrometry and photometry using reconstructed PSFs. The on-sky performance of PSF-R is discussed by comparing the binary-fitting analysis using the reconstructed PSFs with the standard methods. We show that the PSFR in the NGS provides comparable performance to having a close reference star in the imaging science instrument. The on-sky troubleshooting efforts and the recent PSF-R technical developments are also presented. We find that the PSF-R reconstruction is more of a systems science problem that a post-processing problem. We close by discussing the lessons learned in the context of existing and future extremely large telescopes.
