If you take the Mk2 probe core and plenty of fuel,

 

That was the one. It was your first entry (when you talked about the MK2) that got me to use it. Worked like a charm (once I enabled Commnet ). Anomalies started popping up all over the place. Just got tired of landing and finding the same thing. I was gonna try the first arch (at the bottom of the crater), but I soon realized that it would not work out too well with such a large ship. Used the "easy" one on the crater's edge instead.

Hey Folks,

late entry:

     169m/s

     171m/s

     565m/s

Nothing spectacularly fast, but I got all three arches in one flight. Sorry for the makeshift video, but I ran out of time.

I got all preparations done last week, you know, finding the arch that I´ve never seen before, driving rovers over there, getting an extra-fuel-module for my Beagle to the Mun and so on. But my weekend has been pretty buisy and so finally, yesterday I found some time to do the flight.

Man, not easy! But a lot of fun.

Went through the arch at 707.7m/s. Guessing some people have done faster, but I forgot about this challenge until it was too late to put in large amounts of setup effort.

So I finally finished. This was a true labor of love. As much emphasis on the labor as the love. Kudos to @StrandedonEarth for a fantastic challenge, and a tip of the cap to all who completed it. Those were some great entries, and it seems like there was no way to top them, so I didn't even try. Instead, I decided to make my first-ever video for entertaining my fellow Kerbanauts. I made this for the whole community, so I really hope you guys enjoy it. If you have four and a half minutes and some headphones, check it out.

And just a quick note, it's a Class D asteroid I bring through the arch. There weren't any Class E's on the tracking screen when I finally found the arches. I didn't feel like wasting any more time, so I just grabbed this one.
