Gunn temperament is a rank-3 temperament in the Compton family that tempers out 729/728, 273/272, 153/152, 364/363, and 1729/1728. This temperament is notable for acting as a high-limit map for 24edo or 72edo that maps out many interesting 19-limit commas such as the Semitonisma and Sylvisma. Furthermore, this temperament tempers out the Rastma, so it can be thought of as a very high-limit intersection of Compton and Rastmic.
