This paper discusses four on-axis natural guide star adaptive optics (NGS AO) point spread function reconstruction (PSFR) algorithms developed and benchmarked on simulated and laboratory telemetry data. Simulated telemetry was provided by the MAOS software configured to simulate the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) NFIRAOS system, or the Herzberg NFIRAOS Optical Simulator (HeNOS) bench. Laboratory data was acquired on the HeNOS bench at the Institute of Astrophysics at the National Research Council of Canada.
