\label{fig:Candid5_with_tilt}: BC\_18.88-0.09 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 3.7 kpc distance to BC\_18.88-0.09 (assuming BC\_18.88-0.09, assuming  the filament candidate  is associated with the \citet{Dame_2011} Scutum-Centaurus log-spiral fit). model.  The squares, triangles, and circles correspond to HOPS, BGPS, and GRS sources, 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 filament 5 can be seen in the lower panel.
