Deep-sky objects in Centaurus

Which deep-sky objects should I look for in Centautus. Of course I know about Omega Centauri and the great galaxy, NGC5128, and I really look forward to observing them. But I'll appreciate all hints about other good objects in the constellation.

Concerning doubles I have found out that Centaurus contains many good ones(plus a couple of very tough ones). It would rank high on a list of the best double star constellations in the sky. Still I'd like to hear if any of you who know the constellation have any favourites.
