I also observed it, from Leiden.

It was an easy naked eye object (+2) on shadow exit but lower in the sky I lost 
it in a combinbation of haze and light pollution (conditions were mediocre).

I did not see or photographs the venting, it probably happened too low in the 
sky for me.

Will post image and astrometry later.
