This puzzle includes a repeated arrangement of arrows which is surrounded by stardust (kropki dots). It uses standard sudoku, arrow and kropki rules. See below for more details.
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply. Additionaly, standard arrow and kropki rules apply
- Normal sudoku rules: Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- Arrow: The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat along an arrow if permitted by other rules
- Kropki: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown
Remarks
There is also a more minimalistic, yet more challenging version of this puzzle available: CTC, Sudokulab
Feedback is always welcome especially since this is the first puzzle I shared on this site

My feedback would be to publish the “more minimalistic” version of the puzzle as a separate entry on this website, so we can separately rate its difficulty.
gdc: thanks for the suggestion. I'll post a variation of this puzzle in a few days, which will be similar to the "minimalistic" version

I liked how the clues interact! I think it's hard to set a very easy puzzle that is really nice. You did it!

Seems like the solution code for the more challenging version is different.
dgc: yes, there is no way to have multiple solution codes in one lmg-puzzle. But you can hit "solve" on sudokulab to compare

Changed title: symmetry is not an appropriate word to describe the pattern of arrows
