After all, being sick and not going to work provides a great opportunity to collecting data, especially considering you've got narrowband filters...so arr what moon? Don't tell me you're still watching the guide star like a hawk during your data acquisition. Go back inside man. Put you're feet up for a while and keep warm.
This is a nice comparison - I like it, however at times I see it as doing disservice to your work. Your image has a warm fuzzy feeling no matter which way you look at it. You'd be better off making a comparison with a ground based instrument IMO. Each to their own. I've only ever made one comparison to a Hubble image and I've sworn, I'd never do it again, how does one make a fair comparison? Yes, you've proven that Roland makes fine refractors, but I could have drawn that conclusion simply looking at one of your other images!
Hope to see some new images from you soon. The remedy to flu like symptoms is a good dose of photons.

No complicated agenda here jase, I'm not deluded into thinking my images are as good as Hubble shots
far from it but I actually find making these comparisons results in noticing the finer details in my image. In the big scheme of things, yes, compared to Hubble shots my image looks very ordinary but as I've said before I don't "present" my images in a grandios fashion, I just do what I do, sometiems they are quite good sometimes they are average, sometimes they are B&W sometimes they are crops and if making a lighthearted comparison with a HST shot tickles my fancy, hey I do it
...I do try to do good work but I am not a total perfectionist. I probably have a broader base for what I find appealing or interesting in an image compared to you..? I don't mean that in a derogatory way either, I am just a bit more of an imaging mungrel than you
.
If I actually had a backyard, light pollution or not, yes I would be doing exactly as you suggest but alas I canna see tha stars from here me hearty
