The real star Rigel was part of the constellation Orion. The constellation was seen on screen in TNG: "Family".

"The Explored Galaxy"

Both locations were identified in DS9: "The Search, Part II", "Call to Arms" as being located in the Alpha Quadrant. This chart was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were: TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game" and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".

Star Trek: Star Charts

Geoffrey Mandel, the author of this book, believed that there were two Rigels. There was a Rigel in the Beta Rigel system, and there was a Rigel in the Alpha Leonis system. This was the 'true' Rigel. (Page 36)
