+        If the standard point solver only locates one multiple image, finds one or more additional images, which are
+        not technically multiple image in the point source regime, but are close enough to it they can be used
+        in a position threshold likelihood.
+
+        This is performed by incrementally moving the source-plane centre's coordinates towards the centre of the
+        source-plane at (0.0", 0.0"). This ensures that the centre will eventually go inside the caustic, where
+        multiple images are formed.
+
+        To move the source-plane centre, the original source-plane centre is multiplied by a factor that decreases
+        from 1.0 to 0.0 in increments of 1/increments. For example, if the source-plane centre is (1.0", -0.5") and
+        the `factor` is 0.5, the input source-plane centre is (0.5", -0.25").
+
+        The multiple images are always computed for the same mass model, thus they will always be valid multiple images
+        for the model being fitted, but as the factor decrease the multiple images may move furhter from their observed
+        positions.
