[APML] Multiple Exposures (for the Analemma)

["Stuart Heggie" <stuart.j.heggie@sympatico.ca>]

I have three camera models: Nikon F2, Minolta SRT101, Minolta X-700. I can
use any one of them for my attempt at the Analemma. None of them have a
multiple exposure lever/button. My impression is that on all three, the
button that one presses to rewind the film will allow for this - just
confirmed on the SRT101 that you can do that if you hold the film with you
thumb (i.e. with the camera back open using an old roll of film for
practice). But! if you don't hold the film down firmly, button pressed or
not, the film will still advance.

Question - with the camera back closed, I am not confident that I can cock
the shutter without moving the film. I've seen it suggested that you hold
the rewind knob but there is slack inside the film cannister that I would
expect would allow some film movement. Anyone tried this and can recommend a
way to do this reliably? I don't want to spend a year on this to find out
I'm all over the place.

Second possibility: I take 52 exposures on 52 successive frames then one
more for normal daytime then stack them in software - is this cheating?
