This effect may or may not be reduced when using an appropriate power supply instead of AA batteries, for I have read that these scopes are picky and like a good power supply. I have read this is very normal for these scopes and calibrating the motors/drives using the Autostar controller can practically fix or eliminate this (scope still works fine without doing this). When using the electronics, there is some rubber banding when trying to center an object. I have only used AA batteries as the power source to the telescope, and I have read that a power supply is highly recommended for best results using the motorized mount (this scope does not include the 12v power adapter which can be found for about $20 online).
