				I had trouble with this one, not finding any killer moves. So I started hacking away at it, playing two DPs, a Fin Transport and Simple Coloring and getting nowhere.
 
 
Then I found a short AIC which set r4c4<>5 which finished it up. I'd like to know if that was available before the other moves. |

There is a SS on 1 in R4C6 that takes out 1 in R9C7.
 
 
Also, a UR 57 in R24C45 takes out 5 in R4C5.

M-wing:  If A is 9 C is 9;  AD are pincers on 5.  Taking out 5 in R4C4.
 
 
A skyscraper or remote pair 45 finishes it off.

				| I used the 57 UR and took out the 1 with coloring; i don't see the SS. Obviously I missed the M-Wing unless I had a bad grid. |

Probably the same as your coloring move.
 
 
Is my M-wing different than your AIC chain?

I don't remember exactly how I eliminated the 1. I still don't see a Skyscraper. I see what some would call a Kite emanating from box 5, but since it's not weakly linked I'd call it a Simple Coloring chain. 
 
 
My AIC had r8c4=9 proving r9c7=9, then move up to box 6 to prove the 5. |

				Here is another solution......
 
 
(1=5)r9c6-(5=9)r8c4-r8c79=r9c7-(9=1)r5c7-r5c13=r6c2-r6c6=1r9c6 => r9c6=1
 
 
coloring(5) completes the puzzle.
