M104 is truly a gem of a galaxy - one of my favourites - well done on tracking it down Adam. The way I find Centaurus A/NGC 5128 is to consider it to be one corner of a dodgy sort of rhomboid with the others being Omega Centauri, Zeta Centauri and Mu Centauri. This is usually enough to get it into the FOV of the finderscope.
Good luck!
