How do I find out when a particular constellation will be on my meridian?

I would like to know when the constellation Scorpius will be on my meridian at 9:00 pm.





Is there a way to figure this out?





-James|||There are any number of stellarium programs online. Formiulab has a free one you don't need to download anything for, if you google "Your Sky" it should be one of the first results.





Then just type in your location, the date and time you want, etc.





You Meridian will run from the horizon at due North, to directly overhead, to your horizon at due south. Any constellation on that line, will be on your meridian at that date and time.





Or, you could always just go outside on a clear night and look at the specified time.|||1. There are many Star charts and Atlases (Norton's; Skalnate Pleso) or in the Net. I started learning from Star charts of Astronomy text book.


2. Scorpius will be on the meridian at around 9 PM on September 1. Even now you can see it an hour or so early.|||You can get a simple planisphere, like one of these -
