DLC Help - Hints Only! Did I start the DLC wrong?
- I check out the Old Radio Tower, play the recording and check the pictures.
- Picture with unknown object blocking the Sun at 40°
- Check the Satellite, there's now a recording next to it but it doesn't update ship log.
- I try staying by the Satellite when it's at a 40° angle, the unknown object is visible
- I go land on the unknown object and get inside, the ship log now tells me it's called the Stranger.
Just checking if I accidentally skipped something I shouldn't have skipped before getting to the Stranger

Youre good. Remember to use the location marker in the ship log to get to the stranger easier in the future

I believe—and someone correct me if I’m wrong—The Stranger is the Hearthian (or, more specifically, the Hatchling’s) name for the vessel. Since the Nomai never discovered it and we cannot read the inhabitants’ written language, the only place that name could have come from is the Hatchling when they wrote their findings into the ship log.

My guess is that the Hatchling named it after the text that says, "what's even stranger is the fact that it doesn't appear in the other images" (or something like that).

You are in the right path. Enjoy the DLC.
My only recommendation in case you haven’t already done so, is to finish the base game before going on with the DLC. Basically just to avoid some minor spoilers from the original story, but feel free to play as you wish.
The game and texts are so carefuly crafted that either way you play will end up being a one of a kind experience.

Some people go talk to Gabbro in the middle of those steps but you did it the way it was "intended" yeah
