Maximal magnetic field Maximal magnetic field can be found from the condition that highest energy photons which still can reach detector are not deflected outside of jet.
Minimal magnetic field Minimal magnetic field can be found from the condition that lowest energy photons can not be resolved from point source flux

Conclusions Search of individual UHECR sources can be done if regular component of galactic field dominates deflections. Turbulent field strongly reduce signal to noise ratio. Sources in magnetized regions like M87 in Virgo can give complicated signals due to magnetic lensing. Magnetic fields in voids of LSS can be measured by TeV telescopes
