				Nice puzzle.  I first solved it with a few wings, but a second look revealed a 1-stepper.

I couldn't resist the DP 49-79-47 in boxes 147.
 
 
2r1c2=3r7c3-r8c3=r8c5-(3=1)r3c5-(1=5)r5c5-(5=2)r4c4=>r1c4<>2
 
 
That brings me here, where the Type 1 UR on 37 in boxes 78 finishes it off.

				There is a kite on 1 in R5 C3 that removes 1 from R3C5.
 
 
Otherwise, 3 or 4 XY-wings.

				I initially found the skyscraper(1) but with another look I found a one step ANS():
 
 
ANS(16=3)r56c2-(3=1)r2c2-r2c46=r3c5-r5c5-1r6c6 => r6c3<>1
