In The Talos Principle, there are stars hidden around the levels. The game tells you when you're missing stars, but it doesn't give you any indication of where in the level to find them.
So, where in each level are the stars? I'm more interested in where they are (like, which puzzle), not how to get them – I still want to solve the puzzles, I just don't want to spend hours looking them.

First of all. There are 30 stars at The Talos Principle as far as I know:
Then, second, please, don't think that knowing exact locations of each star will save you from exploring, often you still need to search for instruments (jammers, cubes, etc.) to get the star and it is essentially the same task. Even more, I think this game is about exploring. Even during the sigil puzzles you need to find a jammer, you need to find a position for connector, you need to find the sigil at the end, etc.
But anyway, in the following I give hints, which are aimed to reduce: a) process big area exploration, b) "looking for I don't know what", c) trials and errors when you trying to jump over a wall. After you read all hints you will face a usual sigil-type puzzle. But be carefull, some of this hints makes the rest of the star-puzzle trivial.
When you read the hints note that:

I don't put here exact solutions intentionally, I think a player should solve puzzles by himself. But if you really want full solutions you can see all of them, for example, in this 33 minutes guide on youtube.
