Star gazing
(Published on 20. February 2022, 22:14 by PetLov)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
In the grid each row, column and box contain two stars.
Stars may not touch each other orthogonally or diagonally.
The digit in a circle represents how many stars that can be seen from that viewpoint in all directions.
The view is obstructed by other viewpoints and by stars.
I.e. a maximum of one star can be seen in each direction.
A viewpoint can never be a star.
In each box the two stars sum to ten.

A very interesting rule set. Thank you.
Just to be clear, the directions for the circle rule are both orthogonal and diagonal.
