Hi Dean, here are some old charts I have used for finding some popular galaxies. Finding the Sombrero galaxy, M104 is easy. First find Corvus and locate delta which you can see on the attachment has eta alongside. Then find the triangle of stars just over 2 degrees north which point to Struve 1659 ( a beautiful triangle within a triangle) named canali on attachment then outwards to Struve 1664. The later grouping look like a hockey stick and point directly to M104.
Have included charts for Centaurus A and how to find it as well as NGC 253 and a chart of the inner bright galaxies of the Fornax Cluster.
Cheers
Rich
