Try Astrometry.net.

I've wrote a little wrapper to do this calibration with that program in my own reducing facility. I will upload it in github and post here.

Another example would be https://github.com/toros-astro/astroalign, which is an astropy affiliated package.

Astrometry.net support has been added to astroquery: https://astroquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/astrometry_net/astrometry_net.html
