How would you locate what constellation is south of meridian?

My oberservation is at Polaris...so how would i locate what is south of my local celestial meridian?How would you locate what constellation is south of meridian?Your celestial meridian goes from your geographic north point at 0 degrees azimuth to the south point of your horizon at azimuth 180 degrees. NO constellation is south of a meridian. You need to get straight the difference between azimuth-altitude coordinate systems and equatorial coordinate systems (latitude-longitude, declination - right ascension or hour angle.How would you locate what constellation is south of meridian?the meridian is a vertical line



??How would you locate what constellation is south of meridian?The meridian is a north-south line, so nothing can be south of it.
