Caption: Fig. 2.

Logarithmically scaled continuum‐subtracted Hα image of the same region of NGC 253 as shown in Fig. 1. The 0.3–2.0 keV X‐ray emission is shown as white contours. There is a clear similarity between the soft X‐ray and Hα emission, in particular the southern outflow cone is strongly limb‐brightened in both soft X‐ray and Hα emission.
