Ross, the cluster is really easy to find without GoTo.

I have made a map for you showing how to star hop to it.

1. Travel out the top of Crux the distance of the length of Crux to the 2 stars next to each other.

2. Travel the same distance and direction to the next star as bright as the previous two.

3. Travel back a tad and to the right.

I have circled where the cluster is in red.

That is Omega Centauri Glob and Centaurus 'A' Galaxy on the left of the map.

and also another map showing some of the Galaxies in there
