The analysis method initialy developed for the single telescope C.A.T. (Cerenkov At Themis) has been recently improved for stereoscopic observations with H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System). This method is based on an analytical model giving the light distribution resulting from a gamma-ray initiated shower in the atmosphere in the focal plane of the cameras. It simultaneously reconstructs the energy and source location of the initiating gamma-ray. Results of this method applied to H.E.S.S. Crab Nebula data are shown together with its spectrum. The potential of the H.E.S.S. experiment to analyse off-axis or extended source with this method is highlighted.
