Circle diagram.

A 17-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 33/32 17/16 561/512 11/8 187/128 3/2 51/32 2/1, with steps of 33/32 34/33 33/32 64/51 17/16 192/187 17/16 64/51. This only adds two notes to the base hexany, which do mildly reduce the size of the largest step and increase the number of perfect fifths to 4, but still clusters the notes in two bunches at opposite ends of the scale with massive gaps between them, creating a quite xenharmonic but melodically effective scale that can still be easily tempered to a subset of 24edo.
