I've tried to attach a finder chart with the star hop from n Centauri highlighted. It's not the greatest star to start from, but once found the chain is easy to navigate. When you get to the pair of the stars at the bottom of the "stair", make a 90 degree turn. You'll see a star about half way to NGC 5128. Go as far again and look for a faint glow.

The left/right, up/down may be reversed, depending on your scope.

Light pollution tends to blot this one out.
