File:360-degree Panorama of the Southern Sky edit.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:360-degree Panorama of the Southern Sky edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 23, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-11-23. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 20:28, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
