Nice Tarantula. The LMC is quite large so you are only capturing a small section. 135mm to 200mm focal length is ideal.
I have a streetlight in that direction and a couple of trees so can only get a few short exposures, but here is a total exposure of maybe 5 mins with a piggy backed 135mm 1100d as an example of frame size and the other is with a 50mm full frame 35mm film camera, (the 1987 supernova is next to the Tarantula)
