Gamma-ray observatory locations (OrderedDict).

This is an OrderedDict with string keys nd values of type EarthLocation.

Not that with EarthLocation the orientation of angles is as follows:

• longitude is east for positive values and west for negative values
• latitude is north for positive values and south for negative values

Available observatories (alphabetical order):

• cta_south and cta_north for CTA, see Website and Wikipedia
• hawc for HAWC, see Website and Wikipedia
• hegra for HEGRA, see Wikipedia
• hess for HESS, see Website and Wikipedia
• magic for MAGIC, see Website and Wikipedia
