Orion Atlas

Hey, everyone...
I have a homebuilt 10" reflector on an Orion Atlas mount. When I observe at higher powers, I can see the drive "ticking"...a small but steady shake in the image. So I am wondering, is this pretty much what I should expect from an $800 mount from China, or is there anything I can do to minimize this? Overall, I am happy with the mount. It is easy to align, and does track well for long periods. Any advice would be appreciated!

thanks,

Steve
