Very interesting thread. I observed Cen A a month ago. I found it fairly easily under rural skies by going to Omega Cen & then just searching the general vicinity at 15x with a 4mm exit pupil. Altitude of nearly 90 degrees was the hardest bit rather than visibility. I agree with Alex & others in that low power seems more conducive to observing this object. And the panning movement did help tremendously. But I can see why it's a challenge from the city or suburbs. I will give that a go next time the opportunity arises, just out of interest.
