A 5-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 135/128 9/8 75/64 5/4 45/32 3/2 25/16 5/3 225/128 15/8 2/1, (5/4, 15/8 and 45/32 all appear twice) with steps of 135/128 16/15 25/24 16/15 9/8 16/15 25/24 16/15 135/128 16/15 16/15. This is a near complete version of the lydian mode of the standard 12edo chromatic scale, a chain of 10 fifths, 8 of which are perfect and 2 which are flat by a syntonic comma. Like its source hexany, this is not particularly notable, as it does not deviate far from 12edo and there are other ways of constructing the same scale, but at least it can be easily and unambiguously mapped onto a standard keyboard with a note to spare, which would probably be assigned to 4/3 if you want to maintain the standard pattern.
