An interesting point from a tour of the Parkes Radio Telescope was that the surface of the land rises and falls with the moon forming land tides.
The land rises 1 metre in height when the moon is overhead.

I don't know if that could possibly be a factor (probably not) but its interesting.

We have had a wet last 6 months compared to previous dry years. The most likely thing.

Luckily its not much work to check your polar alignment from time to time with T-point.

Greg.
