Tyrgannus

Looking through all the possible pencil puzzle genres is a bit like looking up at the night sky.💫 There are just so many bright standouts, y'know? Also, making sure the genre has a nice flow in context with the rest of the team can also be a bit of a minefield💣 too. You know what's better than one familiar genre? Two familiar genres, obviously! Hmmm, I'm only supposed to do one puzzle though, what should I do. I know💡

Today's GAPP is a Starsweeper

Rules: Place stars into some cells such that each row and column contains exactly N stars. The value of N is given outside the grid. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally. A clue in the grid indicates how many stars are in the 3x3 area surrounding the clue, including the clued cell itself.
