The soft X-ray structure of the Lupus enhancement was investigated during a recent rocket experiment. A counting-rate profile with an angular resolution of 15 arcmin is presented, showing significant fine structure on the subdegree scale. At least four discrete sources are resolved from the total enhancement. Correlations with the supernova of A.D. 1006 and the Lupus radio object are discussed. No other obvious radio/optical counterparts have been found for these sources, with the possible exception of the radio source MSH 14-38. In the direction of the Lupus radio source the spectrum comprises a foreground and a source component; both have thermal spectra including line emission with temperature ranges of 200,000 to 1 million K and 1.9 million to 3.4 million K.
