Probably NOT associated with MSXDC 18.82-0.28; the "absorption" seen to be continuous from that cloud is revealed to be an absence of gas in Herschel and Bolocam data. Additionally, this object is associated with a cloud at vlsr=43 km/s in the GRS data, not the broader MSXDC at 66 km/s. Because of its high column density and lack of infrared absorption, this source is likely to be at the far kinematic distance ~12.6 kpc.
