Constellation Sudoku III: Pisces
(Published on 19. May 2022, 14:10 by Jreg)
This is a continuation of my previously published idea, Constellation Sudoku - with an added custom constellation rule and an observatory, which is a new addition. This puzzle is based around an existing constellation called Pisces which is also my astrological sign.
If you like this idea and the puzzle I created using it, I would love to see more people take this concept and construct their own puzzles with it! I think it has a cool potential, but I'm not a good enough setter to do it justice. Let me know what you think and have at it!
The rules are as follows:

The rules are as follows:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits placed on the arrows must sum to the total given in the connected gray circle.
Every star in the constellation (i.e. the turqoise circles) must have a different digit on it.
The observatory (marked with a gray square) contains a digit that is the sum of all stars it can see horizontally, vertically and diagonally.

This was a really fun puzzle to solve! I love the interactions between arrows where they normally wouldn't see each other. Thank you for sharing!
