provided the sky didn't change much, the ADU values above bias will have doubled if you doubled the exposure time .

in PI, you can also put a small preview block in a smooth region (keep away from hot pixels and stars) and then select it the "statistics" process - mean will give the average signal and MAD is normally a good estimate of the noise.
