If you can get some way to read the Local Sidereal Time; many astro software packages give LST, or the Argo Navis computer has a built in sidereal clock, then:

Sidereal Time = Right Ascension on the Meridian:

that is, when an object's RA is the same as Sidereal Time, the object is on the Meridian.
