Providing a parallel beam to the grating is a very common solution.
As you show, a Barlow can be used, positioned at its focal length from the telescope focus. Fitting the grating to the front of a camera lens and using a DSLR for imaging has been very successful.
(If you use a positive collimating lens you can then think about adding an entrance slit for even better results.)
