The Small Magellanic Cloud is an object that is hard to see in a single view. To achieve that, probably binos are the best bet. I have seen the entire cloud in my 15x70s but it needs a reasonable dark sky, even in the moderate light pollution at home it is not obvious. The reason is that it is quite large, and most scopes only show a portion of it.
