I can certainly sympathize with that... however, the alignment of hub to handlebar to your eye is just one measurement of many; and it's not even a significant one at that. And helping you adjust your bike to your comfort and your skill level is near impossible without physical access to both you and your bike to gain some sort of actual physical feedback from you. If a full fitting isn't in your budget right now, you should visit your LBS anyway for some assistance. If they're worth their weight in dog poo, which ain't worth very much at all, they'll be happy to spend a few minutes with you to help get you going.
That said.... for whatever it's worth... and this is assuming that your seat height is such that you already get decent leg extension, do not have the saddle to far forward or back, and have some degree of drop to the bars, I would start by rotating the handlebars so that the bottom of the drops is near vertical to the deck. The way your hoods are tilted up and towards you look like they could wreck havoc on your wrists when riding on them or in the drops.
