Just think of it in 24hr clock terms (24-19 = 5). The first 5hr brings you to 24/0hrs LST which = 00hrs RA on the meridian. Add another 5hr and Orion is up high.
LST is now just after 21hrs so add 3 to get to 24/00 and then add the RA of the object in question (approx 5 for Orion). In 3hrs time the LST is 24/00 so any objects with an RA of 00 will be on the meridian. Approx 5hrs later again will be Orion.
