When someone say "that is a very astute observation" in your own words (not dictionary words) what are they saying about my observation?

The person means that you made an observation about a small detail that others probably would have missed and that you really paid close attention when making that observation.

Simply, that you saw some extra details that no one else saw.
Okay, think about any Michael Myer's movies or the Jason movies. Look at the first crime scene. List every detail that you see no matter how dumb, you think it might be.
Okay, you have observed the situation. From this is an astute observation, ( you are seeing things that most just casually see, but do not pay close attention.)
By observing, you can usually tell what's going to happen next & to whom.
Get the idea?
My son said, I probably have spoiled every slasher movie for this person, now.
I hope this helps.

It all depends.
If the speaker is being literal it means that you are one smart cookie and you picked up on a detail that no one else noted. If the speaker is being sarcastic it means that you are stating the obvious.

That it was especially perceptive - you observed something others may not have.
