Filament 9 BC\_335.31-0.29  lies right on 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 3.2 kpc distance to filament 9. BC\_335.31-0.29.  The colored dots within the yellow box are sources belonging to filament 9, BC\_335.31-0.29,  labeled "H'' for HOPS. 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 filament 9 BC\_335.31-0.29  can be seen in the lower panel.
