A push to app that incorporates plate solving?

Is there an app that uses plate solving to “ push to” a target when using a non go to mount?

You could just take a snap and send off to nova astrometry to see what you are pointing at.?

Plate solving could be independant of any mount tracking system.

Otherwise , get an Argo Navis.

It's not platesolving-based, but I've very happily used this with my Dob:

Even when hopping large distances, the object is invariably within the finderscope, often right in the centre.

It doesn't work with EQ mounts, but for dobs and other alt az mounts, it's a an effective, simple solution.
