Starter Set Up Recommendations

I've been looking to get into astrophotography and wanted some recommendations/advice before I make any large purchases.

For some context, I am a student with limited budget living in a city with bortle level 8-9 (I think).

I've been looking at the Canon EOS Rebel T7 as my starting camera and was wondering 1) Whether it's optimal for astrophotography (I want to take night scapes/milky way/maybe some nebulae?) 2) Is the included lens enough to begin shooting? 3) Are you still able to photograph stars in the city? 4) Any recommendations for affordable lenses? 5) Should I purchase a light pollution reduction filter?

Any thoughts, opinions, recommendations are greatly appreciated!
