I've been looking at the markdown syntax used in GitHub for a while but except resizing an image to the extent of the readme.md page, I can't figure out how to center an image in it.

Is it possible? If it is, how?

Markdown doesn't care with positioning so i don't think that completely relying on markdown is not a good idea. Some markdown processors support inclusion of HTML, and in the GitHub case you may fallback to something like 

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="..." /></div>

 Beware that there's no guarantee the image will be centered if your repository is forked in a different hosting environment (Codeplex, BitBucket, ...) or if the document isn't read through a browser.

Note: Keep in mind that even within the GitHub website, the way markdown is rendered is not uniform.
