Where is the Betelgeuse star?

Spotting the Betelgeuse star should be relativity easy. First, you need to find the Orion Constellation. Often times, finding the Orion Belt, which is 3 stars forming a straight line, can help determine the constellation. The other four stars around the belt should form a trapezoid. From that, we can tell that the Betelgeuse star is on the top left corner of the constellation, forming the left shoulder of the Orion. The red giant is about 600 light years from our planet.
The exact location is:
right ascension 5 hours 55 minutes and 10.3 seconds
declination +7 degrees 24 minutes and 25 seconds

the four corner forms a rectangle shape or a trapezoid

Orion Constellation. The Betelgeuse star forms the left shoulder.
