Comments on the clue
1.Superb, I wish I could award it more than 5.
2.Lovely surface – well spotted! – but I couldn't convince myself that 'in' turns nebula into nebular
3.would 'twice overlooked' have been better?
4.Are "c" for "Charlie" and "completely" given in Chambers?
5.Nice.
6.Made me laugh
7.Couldn't quite give this a point – 'completely' doesn't work for me, 'doubly' maybe? Liked the idea otherwise
