46cm f/4.5 Newtonian, Deep Violet @ 175x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
White, a 10th magnitude companion visible 6' southwest, χ2 For visible 13' northwest, the three Chi's make for a pretty field

20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 136x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 6 Moon: 25%
White, a 10th magnitude companion visible 6" southwest with some additonal magnification, χ2 For is visible 13' northwest, χ1 For is 28' west
The Gaia DR2 data shows that this companion shares proper motion and parallax with χ3 For thus is probably physically related
This is a member of the very large and very close χ1For Cluster
