That really is a wonderful image!!

I didn't track my solve. It took a lot of edge logic and two-way logic. I did get bogged down and finally found a move that broke it free. It was the biggest "look-ahead move" so I did write it down. If it doesn't make sense, you might not have enough dots in the area yet:

- If you try to compact the 1-1-2 from C10 in the bottom 15 rows...it (EL) violates C11 by making dots in R27 and 37. this means that at least one of those 1 clues pushes into R23 or above, fully placing the 1-6 clues near the top.
