[ed. I had this on the front page in the 3/9/21 edition (#5,294), but I know some folks just come straight to the forums, so am duplicating here. v/r,dr]
I had 31.6 hours of night hours (and 20+ night TO and LNDGs) in the RV before doing these two flights. Still trying to get a a solid answer on how many, if any, of the 330+ hours I have in the level D sim (in night conditions) count. Three people in a room will get you three different answers <g>.
Back to these two flights...
Per 61.159 (b), if you're building night hours toward the 100 needed for the ATP, you can log 25 night hours doing stop and gos. So, on 2/24 and 3/7 of this year I racked up 25 on two flights over the course of 2.6 hours.
The story in pictures HERE, with a word here and there.

(the reg in question):
"(b) A person who has performed at least 20 night takeoffs and landings to a full stop may substitute each additional night takeoff and landing to a full stop for 1 hour of night flight time to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of this section; however, not more than 25 hours of night flight time may be credited in this manner."
