Sirius: R.A is 6h 45m 8.9s. Meridian crossing at midnight, 1 July.
More or less, could be off by a day or two.

It depends greatly on your exact location, Vega and Sirius cross the meridian each night at around 10:15 pm est tonight (2/7/07) and a little earlier each night afterwards. That is for Indianapolis. If you live east of here it will be, for example, about 9 pm est in New York. The further west you live from me, the later the time when it crosses the meridian. If you email me with your exact location (city and state) then I can give you a more accurate time for where you live. Click on my icon to get email address.

Sirius transits right around January first.
Vega is July 1.
