Rory uneasy over clip of agent with a heavenly model (6)

I believe the answer is:

orrery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a heavenly model' is the definition.
'orrery' can be an answer for 'model' (orrery is a kind of model). I am unsure of the 'a heavenly' bit.

'rory uneasy over clip of agent' is the wordplay.
'uneasy' is an anagram indicator.
'over' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'clip of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'clipped' mean this).
'agent' becomes 'rep' (short for representative).
'rory' is an anagram of 'orry'.
'rep' with its final letter taken off is 're'.
'orry' going around 're' is 'ORRERY'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
