We present astronomical results from K-band adaptive optics (AO) observations of the wide binary system σ Corona Borealis with the Lick Observatory natural guide star adaptive optics system on 2004 August 27-29. Seeing conditions were excellent and the AO compensation was very good, with Strehl ratios reaching 50% at times. The stellar images were reduced using three different analysis techniques: (1) Parametric Blind Deconvolution, (2) Multi-Frame Blind Deconvolution, and (3) the MATPHOT stellar photometry code. The relative photometric and astrometric precision achievable with these three analysis methods are compared. Future directions that this research can go towards achieving the goal of routinely obtaining precise and accurate photometry and astrometry based on near-infrared AO observations are described.
