Position of the Galactic bar with respect to the Sun as measured with the RC method from the the dereddened Ks magnitudes using our extinction map (red filled circles) at a latitude of b = −5°. Also shown, are the measurements from the Galactic model as presented in Gerhard & Martinez-Valpuesta (2012) at the same latitude, corresponding to a bar with an angle of 25° with respect to the Sun-Galactic center line of sight (black empty squares). Dotted lines mark the lines of sight for longitudes l = ± 5° and l = ± 10°.
