Hi Cenoman,
Thank you for taking the time to solve the puzzles I propose, which usually require several steps.
Here is my resolution with TDP, step by step in 5 steps.

Step 1 : two conjugated tracks from the 9c3 pair (see puzzle 1).
P(9r5c3) : 9r5c3->9r7c5->6r7c4->7r7c1->7r3c3
P(9r8c3) : 9r8c3->8r5c3->7r3c3
=> r3c3=7, r1c1=2 and -9r8c46, -9r7c2 (we find skyscraper)

Step 2 : two conjugated tracks from the 39r5c5 pair (see puzzle 2)
P(3r5c5) : 3r5c5->6r3c5->6r2c9->2r2c7
P(9r5c5) : 9r5c5->3r5c7->2r5c9->2r2c7
=> r2c7=2 and r5c9=2.

Step 3 : two conjugated tracks from the 9b4 pair (see puzzle 3)
P(9r6c2) : 9r6c2->1r6c1
P(9r5c3) : 9r5c3-> --- ->1r6c1 (see diagram)
=> r6c1=1, r4c1=5, r6c4=5 and -9r9c2, -9r8c9

Code: Select all
                         -----------------
                        |                 |
9r5c3->[3r5c5->3r4c8->9r9c8->4r8c9->4r3c6]->3r3c3->1r9c2->1r6c1
  |                        |
   >8r8c3------------------

Step 4 : anti-track from 4r5c2 (see puzzle 4)
P'(4r5c2) : -4r5c2-> --- ->4r8c9 and 48r7c28 => -4r78c1 (see diagram)

Code: Select all
-4r5c2->8r5c2->9r5c3->3r5c5->[(3r4c8->9r9c8)->3r7c7]->48r7c28
                    |
                     ->8r8c3->4r8c9

Step 5 : anti-track from 4r8c9 (puzzle 5)
P'(4r8c9) : -4r8c9-> --- ->4r7c2 => -4r8c2 (see diagram) => r7c2=4, stte.

Code: Select all
 
                         >8r4c6---------------------------
                        |           |                     |
-4r8c9->(8r8c9->8r2c8)->            ->(4r6c6->3r3c6->4r3c9->9r4c9)->3r4c4->3r7c5->4r7c2
                        |           |            |                       |      |
                         >8r3c2->9r6c2            -----------------------       |
                           |                                                    |
                            ----------------------------------------------------
