N113 is an H-II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud , just over 2 ° west of 30 Doradus . It is one of the most conspicuous and best-studied star formation regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud and houses by far its brightest H 2 O maser. Associated with N113 are a rich molecular cloud and the three young star clusters NGC 1874 , NGC 1876 and NGC 1877 . In addition, with NGC 1880 , another entry in the New General Catalog goes back to part of N113.
