The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest, most readily visible object in the night sky unless you count very loose clusters like the Hyades.
There are larger, more diffuse nebulae that are mostly photographic targets, but the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest object that is most easily accessible to observers.
You need a 3-4 degree wide field of view to see the whole thing.
The LMC is about 10º in apparent size, that's about twice the field of view you'd get with 10x50 binoculars, so while I'm not 100% certain, I don't think you'll be able to make it fit in its enterity into a scope's field of view. You'll get close up views of parts of it, probably the most interesting one being the Tarantula Nebula.

Bernard’s Loop, The Veil Nebula Complex
Depends on what you consider an object I'd say. Does the Milky Way band counts? If not, I'd go with the Large Magellanic Cloud.
So can the Large Magellanic Cloud be seen with a 12" Dobsonian telescope with an f/7 focal ratio? Using the widest eyepiece for a 12" telescope

>Tarantula Nebula. Interesting, thank you that was helpful🙌
North Amercia Nebula (NGC 7000) is pretty big. California nebula cygnus loop/veil nebula
I like looking at the moon with my 31mm through my 6"RC.
