Coupled channels calculations of the fusion cross sections for 16O with an aligned 165Ho target are presented. Predictions are made for the orientation dependence that would be observed in an experiment and these are compared with previous predictions. We predict that in an experiment aligning the target will change an unpolarized cross section of order 10 mb by between 40% and 175%, depending on the experimental conditions. The coupled channels results are compared with the results of eigenchannel and semiclassical methods 165Ho(16O,X).
