Hi Graham,

As others have said I start at Hadar (Beta Centaurus) and star hop to Epsilon Centaurus, then its equal distance straight line hops to Omega centaurus and Cent. A. See the chart attached that I took off Starry Night, south is down and the chart is for current 9:00pm.
I am in a semi rual area with reasonably dark skies and Cent. A is visable in the 9X50 finder scope.
Hope this helps.
