Ultimately it depends on where you observe. Can you see the SMC from your site?

No Steven, Can't see the SMC. I can see the Tarrantula Neb, but not the LMC that it resides in. I have given up trying to find galaxies from my back yard. Each time i get packed up ready to go to a dark site, the weather changes drastically.
