The ChaMPlane survey to identify and analyze the serendipitous X-ray sources in deep Galactic plane fields incorporates the ChaMPlane Optical Survey, which is one of NOAO's Long-term Survey Programs. We started this optical imaging survey in March 2000 and completed it in June 2005. Using the NOAO 4-m telescopes with the Mosaic cameras at CTIO and KPNO, deep images of the ChaMPlane fields are obtained in V, R, I and H-alpha bands. This paper describes the process of observation, data reduction and analysis of fields included in the ChaMPlane Optical Survey, and describes the search for H-alpha emission objects and Chandra optical counterparts. We illustrate these procedures using the ChaMPlane field for the black hole X-ray binary GRO J0422+32 as an example.
