At around the latitude of San Francisco (northern hemisphere), you should be able to find Sagitta/Delphinus almost directly overhead at around 10 PM. At around maybe 5 AM, both constellations will set due west.

-- (In the calculator, for the coordinates, use 21:00:00 right ascension and +10:00:00 declination as given by wikipedia, and specify your own location, or choose a nearby observatory.) --

It is visible worldwide except for the south polar regions (south of latitude 75 degrees south), so unless you are spending the winter in Antarctica, you should be able to see it.
