Hi Suzy, you should be able to see it with binoculars under a dark sky. If you are observing in the city, any light pollution overwhelms it. The trick is to get on it's position and wait for it to become visible. Usually the dark lane becomes obvious first.
The area I call the 'Golden Triangle' is a v-shaped group of brightish orange stars. To the southeast lie two bright stars, moving away from them and through the star to the northeast (a few difficult and faint galaxies lie around it) brings you to Cen. A. It is quite large.
