How do i find a certain constellation in the sky?

There's a certain constellation (Leo) I'd like to look for but I don't know how. I know this isn't the best time of year to see Leo. You actually see it best in April. But where is it now???|||look here: http://skytonight.com/observing/skychart鈥?/a>





Or here for a simpler one just for the month of November:

After looking it seems to be below the horizon for the northern hemnisphere. It is up during the day but the Sun drowns out the light coming from the stars.





Here is it's placment in the sky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_%28cons鈥?/a>


It is just south of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) so it may be up in the early morning.








EDIT:


If you are looking for the meteor shower see here:

In North America, for the Maritime Provinces of Canada, New England, eastern New York and Bermuda, the Sickle of Leo (from where the Leonids appear to emanate) will be above the east-northeast horizon just as the shower is due to reach its peak. But because Leo will be at a much lower altitude compared to Europe, meteor rates correspondingly may be much lower as well. However, this very special circumstance could lead to the appearance of a few long-trailed Earth-grazing meteors, due to meteoroids that skim along a path nearly parallel to Earth's surface.|||Leo rises at about midnight at this time of year.





Choose a good dark-sky site away from cities and towns. You'll be looking east, so its best if there are no towns to the east of you.





At 1:00 am, the brightest star in Leo (which is Regulus) will be just above the horizon, right next to Saturn, which is in Leo right now. The pair should be very noticable and easy to spot; they will be at the bottom of a group of stars formed like a backwards question-mark. That shape forms the head of the lion.





If you wait until 2:00, you should also be able to see Denebola, the tail of the lion and the second-brightest star in the constellation, as it rises.
