     Looking at images and also doing a VizieR search 
indicates a near-uv counterpart in the GALEX image,
and UKIDSS and IPHAS detections:

UKIDSS DR6   6 30 47.04 +02 39 31.3   J-K = 0.81

IPHAS DR2    6 30 47.05 +02 39 31.4   Sloan r' = 20.6
             and r' - H-alpha = 1.36  clearly indicates
             strong H-alpha emission in these data
