We have been conducting the Chandra Multi-wavelength Plane Survey (ChaMPlane) since year 2000. ChaMPlane is designed to survey the point X-ray sources discovered by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in the galactic plane in order to constrain the X-ray binary population in the Galaxy. This multi-wavelength survey includes the data from the Chandra achieve, as well as the optical and infrared images and spectroscopes. So far we have observed 74 ChaMPlane fields which cover about 25 square degrees and 295 ACIS observations in the galactic plane (AO1-10). The point X-ray sources detected by Chandra are searched for their counterparts in the deep V, I, R, H-alpha optical and J, H, K IR photometry, taken with NOAO telescopes. Spectroscopic follow-ups are conducted on identified Chandra optical counterparts for classification. So far we have found 24 new CVs. 9 of them are Chandra counterparts. We summarize the results of this legacy survey and report our findings in the past decade.
