Greg Rudzinski wrote- "Even just the camera held to a single pane window surface and cocked slightly would create multiple reflections." Not if the glass itself has its surfaces parallel, in which case, for an object seen at infinity, the two images coalesce exactly, just as they do in the case of the two reflections from a back-silvered sextant mirror.. Such a displacement as Greg describes calls for some degree of "wedginess" between the surfaces.
