Note that TheSkyX now has all-sky image link (plate solve) which does exactly that. It does it locally without any need to access astrometry.net. You can take a photo, all-sky image link it, sync on it and then optionally follow up with a recalibrate permanently mounted telescope or recalibrate portable telescope using either more all-sky image links or regular image links.
