[time-nuts] Chilean quake shifted Earth's axis. The length of the day shorter by 1.26 microseconds ?

How would one go about verifying this? The angular difference after 1
year is about 3E-8 radians, which is probably well beyond the absolute
pointing accuracy of any telescope, and swamped by lunar tidal
deceleration anyway.
