I have the Vanguard Endeavor HD 82A spotting scope which has an eyepiece with 20-60x magnification. For afocal digiscoping with a DSLR, Vanguard has an adapter

My camera is the Nikon D800 which is a full frame camera but has an APS-C crop mode too. The thread in the Vanguard adapter is 52mm diameter so it fixes directly onto my 50mm f/1.4 lens.
I have found it virtually impossible to acquire sharp pictures with my camera/ lens/ scope setup - no matter the eyepiece magnification setting. I have focused the scope as effectively as possible. I have also taken manual control of the camera lens focusing and tried a variety of focusing points on it.
Being new to digiscoping, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is it a problem with the camera lens? Surely it can't be a quality issue - the scope/ camera/ lens are all great quality.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Tim
