I had another look at these two stars through my 140mm refractor last night. xVelorum is certainly a very pretty double. I saw light blue and gold. It is certainly one of my favourites too, but, in our southern skies, it is hard to go past HR2764 in Canis Major. The open cluster NGC2362 is nearby and easily seen in the same low power FOV.
