As explained in the similar thread you initiated at Cloudy Nights, culminations occur daily. Maximum culminations occur at the times of maximum declinations. For the superior planets the cycles are much greater than a year. Here is the link to the discussion at Cloudy Nights where my nickname is Centaur: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1797778/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1
