This was surprisingly very easy to do for me, super cool puzzle. It took me almost no time to have the correct thoughts about the implications of each star adding up to 10. It all flowed so nicely.

Removed shading of extra regions to improve visibility of pencil marks.

The thick brown lines and the shaded cells made it a bit tedious to keep track of the pencil marks, but otherwise a fun puzzle. Thanks, @ FischmitFahrrad :).
