templates to perform a maximum likelihood fit for the shower axis,
energy and height of maximum.
Besides the image information, there is also the option to use the time gradient of the pixels
across the image as additional information in the fit. This requires an additional set of templates
Because this application is computationally intensive the usual
advice to use astropy units for all quantities is ignored (as
these slow down some computations), instead units within the class
