A strongly naked singularity (SNS) was modelled at the center of the Galaxy.This specific type of naked singularity was characterized in 2008 by Virbhadraand Keeton. The lens is described using the Janis-Newman-Winicour metric, whichhas an ordinary mass and massless scalar charge parameters. Gravitationallensing by the SNS gives rise to 4 images: 2 images on the same side as thesource and 2 images on the opposite side of the source from the optic axis. Wecompute magnification centroid, magnification centroid shift, and totalabsolute magnification for many values of the angular source position. Thenature of the curve for all three results are qualitatively similar toSchwarzschild black hole lenses, but quantitatively different. Magnificationcentroid increases as angular source position increases. As angular sourceposition increases, magnification centroid shift increases to a maximum value,and then begins to decrease. As angular source position becomes large,magnification centroid shift will approach zero. Total magnification is largefor small values of angular source position, and decreases to a limiting valueof one. The results expand upon previous work on an SNS of {\nu}=0.01. If suchobservations were viewed experimentally, they would show support for an SNS atthe galactic center. Interpretation of an SNS would disprove the cosmiccensorship hypothesis by Penrose, as well as the weaker cosmic censorshiphypothesis by Virbhadra, which allows the existence of weakly nakedsingularities.
