Capturing dial data using python openCV

I have some video of an instrument panel in an aeroplane which is of pretty good quality. What I would like to do is track the dials of each instrument and somehow log the dial position with respect to time (about 1HZ is probably fine). Essentially turning a piece of video footage of a dial or guage into a data file for a spreadsheet etc.

Doesnt need to be real time and can be one intrument at a time - does anyone know if this is possible using OpenCV and whether there are any online resources? Many thanks!
