Abstract: A method is provided for locating an image recording of an object such as a celestial body, recorded by at least one imaging recording device from a distance. The method includes acquiring image data which represent the image recording and its point in time of recording; acquiring measurement data which represent, for the point in time of recording, a respective measurement signal of at least one sensor device which is arranged in a surface portion of the object; and matching the image data and the measurement data. The method also includes locating the image recording with respect to the object by a determination of a position in the image recording which corresponds to the location of the sensor device on the basis of the matching, and an associating of the location information with this position.
