BC\_24.95-0.17 lies within $\approx$ 10 pc of the physical galactic midplane. The background is a GLIMPSE Spitzer 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ image. The dashed line is color-coded by \citet{Dame_2011} LSR velocity and indicates the location of the physical galactic midplane. The solid colored lines indicate $\pm$ 20 pc from the galactic midplane at the 4.5 kpc distance to BC\_26.94-0.30. The colored dots within the yellow box are sources belonging to BC\_26.94-0.30, labeled "G" for GRS; other nearby sources unassociated with BC\_26.94-0.30 are labeled "H" and "B" for HOPS and BGPS, respectively. The label "with tilt" indicates that both the Sun's 25 pc elevation above the IAU mid-plane and the small tilt of the plane caused by the offset of the Galactic Center from the IAU (0,0) have been accounted for in this view. A closer look at BC\_26.94-0.30 can be seen in the lower panel.
