Is the Pro version worth it over the uncooled ASI585MC?

Yes if you shoot deep-sky targets with exposures longer than a few seconds. The cooler holds a set temperature and lowers dark noise; for planets alone the uncooled version does the same job in a lighter body.

What targets does the small sensor suit?

Planets, the Moon, the Sun with a filter, and small deep-sky objects such as galaxies, planetary nebulae and globular clusters. Large nebulae and wide fields need a reducer or mosaics.

Does it need external power for cooling?

Yes. The two-stage TEC runs on 12V DC, so plan a supply that can deliver the rated current, especially at high cooling power.

The camera body, a USB 3.0 cable, a 12V power cable and a set of adapters for common thread sizes. A telescope, mount and computer are not included.

Will it work with my capture software?

It uses standard ZWO drivers, so it works with ZWO's own software and with common packages like SharpCap, N.I.N.A. and FireCapture.

Can I use it for guiding?

It can guide, but its small pixels and body size make a dedicated guide camera a better fit for most setups.
