\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. The colored dots are sources belonging to BC\_18.88-0.09, filament 5,  labeled "H" ,"B", and "G" for HOPS, BGPS, and GRS respectively. Note that we do not consider the lower velocity blue HOPS source near the center of the yellow box to be coincident with BC\_18.88-0.09. 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\_18.88-0.09 filament 5  can be seen in the lower panel.
