This calibration device was used to determine the change in pixel location of the center of the lens flares based on angular displacement. To do this, the camera was mounted horizontally on a 1.40m long bar. The camera end was free to rotate about a pivot located at the opposite end of the rod, above which a mirror was mounted. A linear micro-adjustment translation stage was placed below the camera end.

=== Tensioning device ===
After several failed attempts to tension the wires, it was determined that the amount of manual contact with the fibers was causing them to break. To remedy this issue, a tensioning device was developed.

The device allows us to apply different tensions by changing the number of weighting plates used.

=== Image Analysis ===
A high-speed (1200fps)video of the movement of the flare spot was then taken and analyzed using a fitting program. of the large number of images, a batching process was developed to aid in the video analysis. First, a built in Linux program, ffmpeg, separates the video into individual frames. Next, a program was developed to determine the center of th flare spot for each image. To find the location of the center of the flare, several lines of code were implemented:
