I use The Sky X Pro to open a FITS file and do a "Blind Solve" if I do not know the image scale (arcsec/pixel) or perform an Image Link if I know the scale and can type in that value.

TSX will then overlay the solved FITs file over The Sky X Chart.

For free, and usually very reliable, you can also upload a file to Astrometry.net and that should work.
