Centaurus A
Chris,
NGC 5128 is a tough target, not as bright as one would expect and easy to pass over because it is not what you think that you are looking for,
have a scout around with your Bino's and then zero in starting with low mag and then up the power a little once you get around what it is that you are viewing. (look for the dark band, not the brightness).
The other blokes are spot on in saying that the object does not leap out at you but grows as you look.
Good Luck, We will wait for your results.
Greg.
