BC\_357.62-0.33 Filament 8  lies right on the physical galactic midplane. The background is a GLIMPSE Spitzer 8 μmμm image. The dashed line is color-coded by \citep{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 3.0 kpc distance to BC\_357.62-0.33, filament 8,  assuming the candidate is associated with the \citet{Dame_2011} Scutum-Centaurus model. The squares correspond to HOPS sources. 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\_357.62-0.33 filament 8  can be seen in the inset.
